Performance Materials (Functional Materials)
Environmentally sound, and weatherability acrylic vehicle
THERMOLACTM
THERMOLAC? acrylic polymer is used as a binder for ink and paint. Various product types are available to fit the needs as weatherability, contamination resistance, chemical resistance and quick drying. Environmentally sound solvent compositions are also available.
THERMOLAC? is available in two types: thermoplastic and polyol
Thermoplastic type
The thermoplastic type features quick drying, adhesion to plastic materials and excellent pigment
dispersibility. Many variations are available to match different types of base materials.
Polyol type
In combination with various polyisocyanates, this type forms a higher quality acrylic urethane layer than
ordinary acrylic resin. Acrylic alkyd and one-part curing types are also available.
Applications of THERMOLACTM
THERMOLAC? is a vehicle for gravure printing that requires heat resistance, transparency and weatherability. Applications include shrink film for wrapping beverage and food packages, overcoating materials for fancy plywood, and two-part acrylic-modified resin used as plastic and clear paint binder.
